Just an idea...

Hello all!

First off, I would like to apologize to everyone that I have not had time to post on the blog yet. I will post on the other comments tomorrow, I just wanted to share with the group an idea I had this morning...

We've been talking about starting a facebook group for the fund raisers, which I think is a very good idea but would mean that we would all have to get facebook accounts so that we could remain up to date on everything. My idea has stemmed from this. I think we need to make it easy for people to donate money, and the easier it is, the more we can receive.

My idea is to maybe set up a "paypal" system or something of the kind, where people can donate via credit card over the internet. That way donating will become accessible to a larger amount of people, not only in this country but (through facebook if all goes well) all over the world. I have a friend I can ask about how this can be done. Basically I think that if we can get enough people to donate even 1 euro, then it will really make a difference. But of course we will have to show them that we are all serious about this...

I will try and talk to my friend this week about it and then I will post what he said about ways to go about it. Tell me what you think of the idea though please.

Thanks.

Oh also, about the Paypal. I'll take care of that after we actually do an event or two.
Think Paypal needs you to have a bank account and stuff, which is something I'll only take care of after making sure that we can make this work.
